The night is getting darker.

After dark, the palace can be said to be silent, except for the guards who patrol back and forth.

Luo Ji, who is busy with government affairs on weekdays, should have fallen asleep a long time ago at this time.

Today, however, it is an exception.

Dressed in civilian clothes, he walked slowly through the palace.

Walk through the small courtyard.

As the distance from the martial arts arena is getting closer and closer.

A burst of movement gradually drilled into Luo Ji's ears.

After walking in, I saw that in the empty martial arts arena, a figure was practicing swinging the knife again and again.

Who else could it be besides Wang Kai?

According to Zhou Cang, since that day he was restrained by his own move.

Wang Kai, who realized that his strength was insufficient, would practice for another three hours on the basis of the original daily training after the end of the guard work every day.

What is this concept?

To put it simply, he has to sleep three hours less every day!

This fatigue state of long-term lack of sleep lasted for nearly a month, and both Wang Kai's spirit and body were obviously a little unbearable.

Looking at Wang Kai, who was sweating like rain in the martial arts arena, Luo Ji pursed his lips.

Wang Kai's Yongwu level is only three stars.

In other words, his strength has almost reached its limit.

Even if you continue to practice like this, it is impossible to make any obvious breakthroughs.

It will only drag him down physically and mentally.

But look at this guard who is loyal to him like this.

Let Luo Ji tell him, 'Everything you are doing now is useless, your talent is limited, and it is impossible to improve your strength, and even in a few years, as you get older, your strength will regress." ’

What does this make him say?

Exhaling a long breath, Luo Ji took a step and walked into the martial arts arena.

Hearing the movement, Wang Kai's nerves were obviously tense.

"Who's there?!"

After an angry shout, Wang Kai, who saw the appearance of the comer, was suddenly shocked.

"I didn't know that Your Majesty had arrived, I collided with Your Majesty, and I forgave Your Majesty!"

Looking at Wang Kai, who was sincerely frightened, Luo Ji was silent for two seconds.

Then he raised his hand......

"Okay, get up, go change into dry clothes, save yourself sick."

Winter nights are very cold.

Wang Kai's sweaty appearance made him accidentally infected with the wind cold.

In this regard, Wang Kai hurriedly ran back to the dormitory of their escort team after answering.

After a simple wipe of sweat stains from your body.

He didn't dare to let Luo Ji wait, so he hurriedly put on a suit of clothes and ran out again.

Luo Ji walked slowly in the courtyard of the palace.

Wang Kai followed honestly.

Luo Ji didn't speak, and he didn't speak.

Just like that, ten minutes passed.

Luo Ji, who was walking in front, paused slightly, and at the same time spoke unhurriedly......

"Wang Kai, I remember that you joined the escort team at the age of eighteen, and now, you have been eight or nine years, right?"

Wang Kai, who heard this, was stunned for a moment and then nodded hurriedly.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

At this moment, Luo Ji was also a little embarrassed in his heart.

Ten years is not short.

Taking a deep breath, Luo Ji spoke again......

"Wang Kai, do you know that everyone has their own talents, and talent is limited for most people?"

Hearing this, Wang Kai, who was standing there, trembled in his heart.

His mouth opened a few times, as if he wanted to say something.

But in the end, he didn't say a word.

He just stood there.

Through the falling moonlight, Luo Ji could vaguely see the perseverance and stubbornness on Wang Kai's face.

After a long time, Luo Ji sighed.

As if defeated by Wang Kai's perseverance and stubbornness, he took out a delicate jade box from his arms.

"Wang Kai, I can give you a chance, what is in this jade box is an elixir that I accidentally obtained, called the Cleansing Pill."

"This pill can change a person's physique, it may get better, of course, it may also get worse, if you want, I will give you this pill."

The pill that Luo Ji said in his words that can change a person's physique is really too unbelievable to Wang Kai.

However, His Majesty has no need to lie to him.

Therefore, this pill must be true.

For a moment, Wang Kai's eyes as he looked at the jade box were a little bit hot.

But then he seemed to think of something, and the look on his face couldn't help but bring a little loneliness.

In his mind, such a precious pill should be taken by Luo Ji himself, how could it be wasted on his little guard?

looked at Wang Kai's expression change.

I guessed what the other party was thinking.

Luo Ji spoke again......

"Don't think too much, this pill is useless to me, so you just have to answer me, whether you want it or not."

Wang Kai, who heard this, thought about it later.

Their Majesty is full of martial arts, both civil and military, and has single-handedly created a huge civilization of the Ten Thousand Worlds, which is enough to prove that extraordinary ability.

Where would such an elixir be needed?

With such a thought, after a moment of hesitation, Wang Kai took a deep breath and shouted loudly......

"Humble and courageous, please give your majesty the elixir!"

Hearing this, Luo Ji chuckled.

"Before giving you this elixir, let me remind you again, most people in this world are ordinary people, and if you want to become that few, the price you pay may be much greater than you imagined."

"If you choose not to take this pill and continue to be an ordinary guard, then if you are lucky, after ten or twenty years, you will be able to take a back seat, and then I will give you the position of an instructor."

"This job is enough for you to eat and wear without worry, and then marry a wife and have children, and live the rest of your life happily."

"It's the life you're supposed to live, and it's good."

Speaking of this, Luo Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

"And if you want to be one of those few, then the greater the power and the greater the responsibility, I will not allow you to die at will."

"What awaits you in the future may be a long time of torment, hundreds, or even thousands of years, until your wife, children, and colleagues are gone, but you are still alive......"

"This loneliness is not as easy as it says, are you mentally prepared?"

Luo Ji's words are not particularly easy for Wang Kai to understand.

But there was one thing, he figured it out.

That is, once you take this pill.

It is possible that you will embark on a completely different life trajectory than you are now.

His Majesty told him that if he continued on the current trajectory of his life, he could be very happy and content, and it was not a bad thing.

But if he embarks on another life trajectory, although he can become stronger, the life after becoming stronger may not make him feel happy, and what awaits him in front of him may also be painful.

However, in the face of this choice, Wang Kai unexpectedly did not hesitate for too long.

Probably from the very beginning, he knew what he wanted......

"Humble duty, willing to follow His Majesty to the end!"
